I am having issues with wicking this tank. I have tried kanthal 24awg and ss 316 26awg. I am using in power mode. Both builds done vertically at 3mm diameter. I try the spread cotton at the bottom and "s" pattern also. I keep getting dry/burn hits. With the spread method I get dry hits and leaking, the s pattern, just dry hits. Pretty fed up with this tank, about to throw it out. I have the Aromamizer rdta standard and it works perfectly. Any help is appreciated.

Will try horizontal. Just frustrating is all. Never had these problems with the regular Aromamizer tank.

Horizontal is a must, vertical are not effective especially if you want to chain vape IMO.. Never a fan of vertical coils...

. The original aromamizer thrived on vertical coils. Completely fixed the leak issues. This tank though...I'm building horizontal coils now.

I agree...so far. Went horizontal, lets see if I wake up to an empty tank and a pool of juice on my dresser.

I've been doing this lately for almost all my builds (I have one left that I haven't tried it with, but I will next time it's due). Before I didn't believe it'd help with tanks, but damn it works nicely. Even if a wick isn't saturated completely it has enough stored in there for an extra pull or two. I'm not sure why I thought it wouldn't work before but anyways, it sure as hell works well.

As for vertical coils, I've been curious on that. I understand the reason for the premade coils (or RBA replications) but I've never understood why they're liked for standard RDA and tanks, I understand the Aromamizer had some issues that it seemed to solve but what is the benefit in general? I'd be curious if anyone would enlighten me to the benefits.

With the standard aromamizer I never got dry hits with horizontal coils, but man did it leak! When I switched to vertical coils I still didn't get dry hits but the leaking COMPLETELY vanished... even with the mod on its side overnight. The flavor was still very good and the draw on it was only slightly inhibited. I only use the vertical coils on one other device, my Goliath 8 coil dripper, but that's so I can get all 8 in there. All my other tanks I use horizontal.

DITTO for Horizontal! The following build vapes great with 65% PG and 35% VG. Using KGD. IF I were vaping high/max VG I would use less cotton. The wick tails are fluffy fluffy fluffy and each tail is placed over the juice holes (two on each side) and over lapped in the middle. It actually lays on top of the juice holes and thus touches each juice hole with this juice. The pic makes it look denser than it is but the tails are very fluffy. Generally on horizontal builds use at least a 3MM ID or 3.5MM. Find your sweet spot by slowly moving the JFC up and start with one bar and also play with your AF.

For this Supreme RDTA (V2) I see no advantage to vertical builds and I've tested them. Perhaps it's just habit with some ? but this is a different beast than the first version or most other tanks so we all need to experience the joy and pain of a learning curve. /lol

Looks like the ENTIRE 7ml of juice is wicked up in there! I'm using a 75/25 ratio. I am using less cotton. The wicking issues seem to be fixed and it really doesn't leak with the horizontals did in the older aromamizer.

LOL. hahahah

So I should use MORE KGD! /joke

Actually boys and girls, here is a pic of my latest build after about 60ML consumption with the coils lower which means less cotton and I run with the JFC set to the second bar. A little lower build around 0.4 OHMS and vapes like a champ. It's a very very versatile RDTA and IMHO, is quite tolerant to numerous techniques for wicking and horizontal builds. That's a good thing isn't it?

Yes, that is a good thing. I'm just surprised that as well as the older rdta worked with verticals, this one failed so completely. Not butt hurt about it as verticals aren't a personal preference, they just worked with that tank. Ya'lls help and advice has renewed my love for my Aromamizers!

It's important to "spread" the cotton all around the well to prevent leaking and don't forget that small area behind the positive post.
Make sure the cotton is fluffy and not stuffed in there, to prevent dry hits.

It does soak up a lot more juice but for me the more the merrier. I just made a huge vape order today and included is an Aromamizer Supreme. Picked it up for 38 bucks shipped. Cant wait to get it!

You think horizontal builds in the aromamizer supreme perform better in terms of wicking and flavor than vertical builds do???
Everyone is always saying that the aromamizer design needs vertical coils...?

With the standard Aromamizer I use vertical exclusively. For whatever reason vertical don't work at all on the Supreme for me.

Wtf $38 ???
How, from where? Everywhere I've seen it has been closer to $50. It doesn't matter I already got one, but I'm just curious to know where you can get one for so cheap... Or was that a typo? Also, if it's gearworst or slowtech it doesn't count.

Ok awesome, so far I had basically written my supreme as a bad purchase and a case of the vaping hype machine striking again, but this gives me new hope for my purchase to pay off after all. Fingers crossed that the horizontal build will turn this puppy around
